Why can't I control myself from crying? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I can't seem to control my tears. When I feel wronged, I want to cry, and when I see someone else wronged, I feel like crying too. Remember in middle school, when the teacher scolded a classmate fiercely on the podium, I thought about what I would do if it were me being reprimanded, and I felt so wronged that I cried loudly beneath. Now, even in college, I still can't control my tears. Sometimes, I really feel ashamed of my crying. Especially when I'm about to cry, just opening my mouth to speak makes me cry even harder, and I can't seem to get any words out, just gasping heavily. Although this hasn't caused me much pain, I'm very curious as to why I love crying so much.

Hello, You're very empathetic. When other students were scolded by the teacher in junior high school, you felt their pain, so you felt aggrieved yourself and couldn't help crying.

This shows that you're very sensitive, like a radar, picking up on the emotions of others and transferring them to yourself. You have a sense of compassion for others. Do you remember what happened after you burst into tears in class in junior high school?

Did you get any comfort from your teachers and classmates at the time? Did anything similar happen again between junior high school and college?

Crying is a way to express emotions you can't even put into words. As you said, "As soon as I open my mouth to speak, I cry even more." Crying is both an expression of your inner emotions and a way to prevent you from speaking. If someone is there for you at this time, someone who can read the emotions behind your crying, someone who can comfort and accompany you, you can also slowly understand why you are crying, what you are trying to express, and together you can name your emotions. In this way, in the future, when similar emotions are aroused, you will have a sense of familiarity and control over these emotions, and you will slowly learn other ways to regulate your emotions besides crying.

Crying is uncontrollable for most people. The more they try to control it, the more they want to cry. It's our instinctive response. There are complex emotions inside us that we can't express in words, like grievance and anger. We need to embrace our crying selves, our helpless selves, and care for and love ourselves.

I think you should make an appointment with the school's psychological counselor. They can help you explore your feelings and heal any internal trauma you may have. I wish you all the best!

I understand how you feel. Crying is such a natural response for me too, whether it's my own emotions or empathizing with others. It's okay to be sensitive; it shows you have a big heart and care deeply about things around you.

Sometimes I find myself tearing up easily as well. It's like there's this immediate connection between my feelings and tears. Maybe it's our way of expressing emotions that words can't capture. We shouldn't feel ashamed of being in touch with our feelings like this.

Crying is just an honest expression of emotion, and there's nothing wrong with that. I think it's wonderful that you're so empathetic. Instead of feeling ashamed, try embracing this part of yourself. It's what makes us human and able to connect on a deeper level with others.
